What's the one truly unforgettable thing about your wedding?

WHAT’S THE ONE TRULY UNFORGETTABLE THING ABOUT YOUR WEDDING DAY?

The humanist ceremony by Tim Maguire. Often the wedding ceremony is overlooked at weddings but for us personally this was the most important bit. A time for us to take a step back and really express our feelings for one another. When you have been together for so long sometimes this is the aspect of the relationship that is just presumed. We (Rebecca) really had a great time writing the ceremony. The homework that Tim made us complete really made us think, it gave us chance to reflect and make absolutely certain that this is what we wanted. The ceremony is one of the things that our guests still talk about now, with such fondness. They say it gave them a real sense of who we are as a couple and loved the fact that the ceremony made them feel involved. I just remember feeling a happiness, a euphoria that I had never experienced before (as cheesy as that sounds) during the ceremony. Looking across to Gary and seeing him cry was just beautiful, to see him overwhelmed with emotion – wow. The whole thing was personal to us, it was what we believed and how we felt about each other and everyone of our guests.

I don't think I've really got much to add to this other than to thank Rebecca and Gary for giving me this wonderful Christmas present!
